Often, one hears the question, 'What is the meaning of life?' To this, I will give the answer. Everything that seems to be so complicated no single person will ever understand it usually turns out to be as simple as two plus two (which equals four, for those of you out there who aren't all that quick). An example of this is followed: the written word. All you must do to understand the written word is learn how to write. Once you are writing, as I am now, It does not matter exactly what you are writing. Even gibberish requires an understanding of the written word. Therefore, if one can write intelligible words, then one understands the written word. At this present time, the time at which you are reading this sentence, that is, you are most likely thinking that I am going to say if one is a living, breathing being then one understands life. However, that is not at all where I am going with this. To be alive is not equal to living. One is living when they have discovered and accepted their meaning of life. In a later time I shall explain the usage of the word 'their' in the last sentence. One cannot live, in my definition of living, that is, until they understand the meaning of life. Understand I will not give one simple thing that represents why every single person is here, but a guideline with which one could, if one so wished, discover the meaning of their life. If one were to dig deep enough, one would eventually find the following statement to be true: you, you being the person reading this, have something special about you, which no other person on this Earth possesses exactly. No matter how small and insignificant this attribute may seem, it is important in the sense that only you have it. We will, for the rest of this passage, refer to as attribute as your Gift. This Gift that only you have is going to be something very specific, not unlike the number 432.3465325626. That is a very specific number, especially in terms of measurements. I want you to do something, right now. This can be done in your head; do not worry. Think of your goal in life. If you don't have any, then I would like for you to close this program and open it when you do. You cannot life by my definition without a main goal. For those of you who do have one (or more), continue reading. Try and find a way to apply the aforementioned Gift to your goal. If this is possible, then you are living by my definition. To live, in mine eyes, is to be knowledgeable of your Gift and to aim towards using that Gift to get you towards your main goal(s). If you have this, then you already know the meaning of life. The meaning of life is to live.
